CollectA 2013 photo: Maned Wolf

Ohhhhh I love it! Just look at those legs!

I must confess it is very exciting to see all these species again. Anyway it is very boring that because of a single day I need to remember my comments after spending a lot of time watching pictures of real animals to add something interesting and useful to my comments. Anyway, not saying anything useful, I remember easily that I was very happy seeing my number 1 predator in my actual wish list but it is a shame that CollectA is not as good with predators as it is with the prey. I wasn't impressed with last years predators not even with the new cheetah but I'm very impressed with the blackbuck and some other beauties. The most important is knowing that with CollectA we'll see something new and unusual to collect.

I have to agree that their not very strong with predators, At least for now!

I will place my comments on the 2013 line-up in this topic, where my previous comments weren't rudely removed! I basically like the new line-up, there are some very endangered animals, very exotic and even extinct. But there are again many horses, some in different colour variations, what I don't like. Seeing all the pictures I will probably buy all of the wildlife animals (except sea animals calfs), two horses plus przewalski, the one farm animal (suffolk sheep, maybe red brahman bull-again not a fan of repaints) and the dog. There are a lot of interesting animals but I still feel like there's something missing.

Bojan, my comment was also deleted and I was commenting the fact of CollectA is turning in a kind of complementar brand to others.
Now we can find almost everything what is unusual what is excelent for us collectors and Numaaan has an important role in this good work.
But, CollectA is not a new brand for me that I discovered last year. I buy CollectA figures since I am a collector and I feel the enthusiasm is increasing, mainly from collectors of less imaginative brands.
I started enjoying the brand because of their birds, the barn owl, mute swan, peacock, later flamingo, spoonbils and now I see 2 years full of ungulates and not a single bird on Wildlife series. I also commented the king cheetah, an excelent idea for a brand that already made before a regular cheetah but not for a brand that never released it. We find it excelent because we can find regular cheetahs in other brands.
Last year I supported the idea of replacing giraffes and brown bears, the diversity was enough and some other animals were improved. I think for CollectA collectors, it was time to replace some figures like the gorillas, leopard and others of low quality.
Also it is nice to see Asian, American and African fauna with some new interesting species but European and Australian fauna are not present. Not a balanced group of releases but very exciting and with a very interesting focus on endangered species!

CollectA's figures look great! It looks very realistic!

At last ! Thank you Collecta

feet .. maybe a bit long?

Wow this is really nice!

Beautiful wolf!

I love those legs!

Good model and good choice of species!

I do like the figure, just don't care for the position of that back paw(Even though it may be correct anatomically).
